Chapter 76 How to deal with the aftermath
Following the last sentence, he kicked over the chair in front of him, grabbed the file in his hand, and strode out the door!

Aunt Sun lay on the ground without daring to say a word, and Huang's mother and daughter also hung there in one breath, looking at her and then at Shen Xi, not knowing where to vent this anger!
Shen Xi glanced at them, lowered his head and thought for a while, but suddenly he picked up his skirt and chased them out!

"Grandpa, please stay!"

Shen Ruopu stopped under the veranda, his eyes were looking ahead, his cheeks were as tense as a stone.

Shen Xi couldn't help slowing down his voice as much as possible, and said: "The old man has a lot of official duties, it's really inappropriate for you to always be alarmed by such things in the back house."

Shen Ruopu looked away, forgetting about his feet.

She went on to say: "It's just that I think it's important to clean up the inner house right now, but the most urgent thing is to eliminate this influence. I don't know what the old lady thinks about the next thing?"

Shen Ruopu hummed silently.

What can he think?There are a lot of things in the yamen that can't be handled in time!
Shen Xi couldn't help but sigh.

Shen Ruopu frowned and looked at her again.

Shen Xi nodded and said: "My granddaughter thinks that although our Shen family is not a scholarly family, with the current prosperity, the rules cannot be messed up from scratch.

"Although Big Sister has a youthful friendship with Mr. Lin, I believe they are still innocent.

"Since there is no such thing, and the Yang family is also worthy of having two surnames, then this marriage of the Yang family is also worth continuing.

"So I think we should deal with the aftermath first and minimize the bad influence."

When Shen Ruopu heard what she said, he turned around quickly: "The person who poured the sewage is already in his own home, how can he tell the Yang family?! Could it be that he was taken to the Yang family to make amends?!
"Then I, Shen Ruopu, really don't need to stay in the capital anymore!"

With a flick of his sleeves, the previously suppressed anger was only now fully expressed.

Although no one has obtained any evidence for this matter, is it true that he, the servant of the Ministry of punishment, is eating for free?

Don't say that he had doubts about this matter. After she listed those interests, if he still can't think of who did it, he would rather hand over this person to others!
But he is good at handling political affairs, but he is really helpless with inner house and family affairs.

Everyone in this inner house has broken bones and tendons, which one do you want him to attack better?
He let out a long breath, shook his head, and suddenly felt tired from the bottom of his heart.

Although he was handed over to Mrs. Ji and Aunt Sun as housekeepers, they all knew how to blame him, and brought him up for adjudication every now and then.

I remember when Shen Chongxin was with Mrs. Hu, at that time he didn't worry too much about the back house...

"Although the granddaughter is innocent in this matter, she still has to do her part to protect the reputation of the Shen family."

Shen Xi's previous domineering face has completely faded away, and he has become humble and introverted: "The granddaughter also feels guilty to the old man for being ignorant."

As a grandfather and the head of the family, Shen Ruopu is serious and indifferent on weekdays. He only asks his grandsons to study and study. Although he is slightly better towards his granddaughters, he can't really be called close and loving.

Right now, these few words of Shen Xi's words were really soft and ironed, and his mood, which was burning with rage, suddenly became quite refreshed.

Thinking of her meticulous, well-founded, and overwhelming momentum before, he couldn't help but look at her again.

This girl's performance today is also surprising. She was able to keep her mind clear even when she was ridiculed by Aunt Sun before, and she clearly wasn't leading her by the nose in the slightest. It is very rare to have such a clear mind.

Coupled with the fact that Huang shi blamed her as soon as she came up, it was even more rare to be able to consider the Shen family and Shen Xin's marriage at this moment.

Seeing her looking over, Shen Xi smiled and said, "If the old man can trust me, how about listening to me?"

He kept silent, looked at a green pine outside the fence, and nodded almost invisible.

Shen Xidao: "Madam Liu must have already arrived at Yang's house at this moment, and Madam Yang will probably believe it. Furthermore, the performance of the maids in the house also seems to be out of family education.

"In this way, we not only have to make the Yang family believe in the reputation of the big sister, but also have to make people believe that there is nothing wrong with our tutoring itself, and the problem only lies with the servants."

Shen Ruopu frowned when he heard this.

She was right, the capital is only this big, if this mess is not cleaned up, even if it finds a new home, it will still have an impact in the future.

But he still said: "Put the blame on the servants, isn't it a cure for the symptoms instead of the root cause?"

"Does the old man think that the perpetrator should be pushed to Yang's house to make amends?" Shen Xi asked back with bright eyes.

Shen Ruopu didn't say a word.

Of course the Ji family can't be pushed out, then the Shen family has become a big joke!
Seeing this, Shen Xi went on to say: "To the outside world, of course we have to be decent. If the master can't come out, he will arrest the servant. Besides, the servant who is willing to do this kind of thing for the master must have the same intentions!
"These two people will not only have to be severely interrogated, but also severely punished! Otherwise, this group of slaves will never know what the real rules are!
"As for the 'cure the root cause' that the old man said—"

At this point she paused.

Shen Ruopu said: "What's your idea?"

Shen Xi laughed: "As long as the old master is really ruthless in governing the inner house, he is not afraid that he will not be able to catch these two people. As long as you catch them, and then knock the mountain to shake the tiger, are you still afraid that the tiger will not get out?"

Shen Ruopu's eyes lit up, knocking the mountain and shaking the tiger, yes!

His heart suddenly became brighter, and the knot that was stuck in his heart before, became smoother after she said a few words!

After wandering around twice, he said, "Then what should the Yang family do?"

"Over there at the Yang family, the old man might as well try this idea. Let's go to the Yang family to ask for termination before someone from the Yang family withdraws the Geng's post."

"Proposal to terminate the contract?" Shen Ruopu couldn't understand again.

Since he said he wanted to keep the marriage, it was unreasonable to take the initiative to call off the contract!
"This is the second strategy, advance by retreating." Shen Xi smiled, "The old man is in the court, and his ambitions are in all directions, so you naturally disdain the twists and turns in this inner house.

"We propose to terminate the contract, and feel very sorry for what happened today, but stick to our principles and refuse to admit that the two of them are ambiguous, only admit that the actions of the servants today have made the Shen family lose face, and we are ashamed of the kindness towards the Yang family.

"Even if the Yang family doesn't want to accept this marriage anymore, after receiving the letter, for your sake, they should never make an arbitrary decision just because of a few words from the servants.

"They would rather postpone the refund for a while. As long as they don't accept the termination on the spot, then please ask Mrs. Lin to do it."

"Mrs. Lin?" Shen Ruopu was slightly puzzled.

"Exactly!" Shen Xi nodded, "Old Master, don't forget that Mr. Lin is also one of the victims this time.

"Mrs. Lin will never want her son to be entangled in such rumors. Do you think she will work hard to facilitate this?"
